lin `accordance with the preferred embodiment of my invention, each oithe members 6 is formed of angelarlydisposed sections i9 and 20, whichmay be provided in any suit able manner, end which, in the construction.shown, are formed by slitting the sides of the members transversely oftheir length and thereafter overlapping the free edges thus presentedand securing them together .spaced epert e distance considerably greaterthen the internal diameter of said pipe. lt will be manifest that by soconstructing the nozzle, the air blast and the materiel carried thereby.'when the members 6 of the nozzle are in the position illustrated inFig. l, Will be directed out oii the nozzle substantielllyv in line Withthe pipe Pulling on one of the cables, as for exemple, the one whichConneetsiv'th the vmember 6 et the right-hand side .nl 3, cnn-ses bothoi' the members o to' swim-ig to they right in Fig. 3 upon their pivots`7.
